Thank you for purchasing a GTO/ACCESS SYSTEMS gate opener. When correctly installed and properly used,

your gate operator will give you many years of reliable service. Please read the following information to ensure

you have the correct system for your particular needs. This manual will enable you to properly install your

Automatic Gate Operator.

The gate operator is designed for installation on a Pull-To-Open (gate that opens into the property) single leaf

gate. By purchasing an optional Push-To-Open Bracket (347IH) the gate operator can accommodate a Push-To-

Open (gate that opens out from the property) single gate leaf. The gate must not exceed 16 feet in length nor

weigh more than 550 pounds* (please see Technical Speciﬁcations on page 10). The gate operator can be used on

vinyl, aluminum, chain link, farm tube, and wrought iron gates. Use on solid (wood) gates is not recommended.

Solid surface gates have a high resistance to the wind. If the wind is strong enough, the operator will obstruct,

stop, and blow fuses, or may damage equipment

The gate operator accommodates extra transmitters, digital keypads, solar panels, push buttons, automatic gate

locks, and other access control products. These optional accessories are shown in the back of this manual.

The gate operator features adjustable stall force. This safety feature makes the gate stop and reverse direction

within two seconds when it comes in contact with an obstruction. The “MIN” setting means the gate will exert

the minimum force on an obstruction before it stops and reverses direction.

The gate operator also has an adjustable auto-close feature. It can be set to remain open from 3 to 120 seconds

before automatically closing. Pressing the transmitter button at any time after the gate fully opens will cause it to

close immediately. “OFF” is the factory setting; meaning the gate will stay open until you press the transmitter

button (or keypad, etc.) again.

Please call GTO at (800) 543-GATE [4283] or (850) 575-0176 for more information about our GTO/ACCESS

SYSTEMS professional line of gate operators and accessories.

BEFORE YOU BEGIN TO INSTALL YOUR AUTOMATIC GATE OPERATOR:

Read these instructions carefully and completely to become familiar with all parts and

installation steps. You must read the installation manual for detailed instructions on gate

operator safety and proper use of the gate operator.

24/7 Troubleshooting Wizard: http://support.gtoinc.com

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Because automatic gate openers produce high levels of force, consumers need to know the potential hazards associated with

improperly designed, installed, and maintained automated gate opener systems. Keep in mind that the gate opener is just

one component of the total gate operating system. Each component must work in unison to provide the consumer with

convenience, security, and safety.

This manual contains various safety precautions and warnings for the consumer. Because there are many possible

applications of the gate opener, the safety precautions and warnings contained in this manual cannot be completely exhaustive

in nature. They do, however, provide an overview of the safe design, installation, and use of this product. CAREFULLY

READ AND FOLLOW ALL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS, WARNINGS, AND INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS TO

ENSURE THE SAFE SYSTEM DESIGN, INSTALLATION, AND USE OF THIS PRODUCT.

Precautions and warnings in this manual are identiﬁed with this warning symbol. The symbol identiﬁes conditions

that can result in damage to the opener or its components, serious injury, or death.

Because GTO automatic gate openers are only part of the total gate operating system, it is the responsibility of the

consumer to ensure that the total system is safe for its intended use.

Disconnecting the Opener

1. Turn opener power switch OFF.

2. Remove hairpin clip, clevis pin, and bushing

from the front mounting point.

3. Remove the opener from the mount.

The gate can be opened and closed manually

when the opener is disconnected.

To Manually Open and Close the

Gate, Follow the Procedure Below:

CAUTION: The gate will move freely and uncontrolled when the gate opener

is removed from the gate. ONLY disconnect the opener when the opener power

switch is OFF and the gate is NOT moving.

Clevis Pin

Hairpin Clip

Gate Bracket

Front Mount

Bushing

CAUTION: Because the Mighty Mule gate opener is

battery powered, disconnect the opener ONLY when the

power switch on the opener is turned OFF. Unplugging

the transformer does not turn power to the opener OFF.

IMPORTANT:

NEVER allow opener arm to hang

by the front mount - it will break from the arm weight.

NOTE: Substitute included Pin Lock for the clevis pin on the

front mount of the gate opener to prevent unauthorized removal

of the opener from the gate.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

For The Consumer

WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury or death:

1. READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS. Failure to meet the requirements set forth in the instruction

manual could cause severe injury or death, for which the manufacturer cannot be held responsible.

2. When designing a system that will be entered from a highway or main thoroughfare, make sure the system is placed

far enough from the road to prevent trafﬁc congestion.

3. The gate must be installed in a location that provides adequate clearance between it and adjacent structures when

opening and closing to reduce the risk of entrapment. Swinging gates must not open into public access areas.

4. The gate and gate opener installation must comply with any applicable local codes.

I. Before Installation

1. Verify this opener is proper for the type and size of gate, its frequency of use and the proper class rating.

2. Make sure the gate has been properly installed and swings freely in both directions. Repair or replace all worn or

damaged gate hardware prior to installation. A freely moving gate will require less force to operate and will enhance

the performance of the opener and safety devices used with the system.

3. Review the operation of the system to become familiar with its safety features. Understand how to disconnect the

opener for manual gate operation (see page 1).

4. This gate opener is intended for vehicular gates ONLY. A separate entrance or gate must be installed for pedestrian

use (see page 6).

5. Always keep people and objects away from the gate and its area of travel. NO ONE SHOULD CROSS THE

PATH OF A MOVING GATE.

6. Pay close attention to the diagram below and be aware of these areas at all times.

Zone 2 – between the gate and the gate post.

Zone 3 – the path of the gate.

Zone 4 – the space between the gate in the open position and any object such as a wall, fence, tree, etc.

Zone 5 – pinch points between the opener and gate or post.

II. During Installation

1. Install the gate opener on the inside of the property and fence line. DO NOT install an opener on the outside of the

gate where the public has access to it.

2. Be careful with moving parts and avoid close proximity to areas where ﬁngers or hands could be pinched.

3. Devices such as contact sensors (safety edges) and non contact sensors (photo beams) provide additional protection

against entrapment.

4. If push buttons or key switches are installed, they should be within sight of the gate, yet located at least 10 feet from

any moving part of the gate (see diagram below). Never install any control device where a user will be tempted to

reach through the gate to activate the gate opener.

5. Do not activate your gate opener unless you can see it and can determine that its area of travel is clear of people,

pets, or other obstructions. Watch the gate through its entire movement.

6. Secure outdoor or easily accessed gate opener controls in order to prohibit unauthorized use of the gate.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

III. After Installation

1. Attach the warning signs (included) to each side of the gate to alert the public of automatic gate operation. It is

your responsibility to post warning signs on both sides of your gate. If any of these signs or warning decals become

damaged, illegible or missing, replace them immediately. Contact GTO for free replacements.

2. The gate is automatic and could move at any time, posing a serious risk of entrapment. No one should be in contact

with an activated gate when it is moving or stationary.

3. Do not attempt to drive into the gate area while the gate is moving; wait until the gate comes to a complete stop.

4. Do not attempt to "beat the gate" (drive through) while the gate is closing. This is extremely dangerous.

5. Do not allow children or pets near your gate. Never let children operate or play with gate controls. Keep the

remote controls away from children and unauthorized users; store controls where children and unauthorized users do

not have access to them.

6. KEEP GATES PROPERLY MAINTAINED. Always turn power to opener OFF before performing any

maintenance. Spray a soft cloth with silicone spray and clean the push-pull tube at least once per month.

7. Service the gate and gate opener regularly. Grease hinges, spray push pull tube with high quality silicon spray.

8. To operate this equipment safely, YOU must know how to disconnect the opener for manual gate operation

(see page 1). If you have read the instructions and still do not understand how to disconnect the opener, contact the

GTO Service Department.

9. Disconnect the opener ONLY when the power is TURNED OFF and the gate is NOT moving.

10. Make arrangements with local ﬁre and law enforcement for emergency access.

11. Distribute and discuss copies of the IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS section of this manual with all

persons authorized to use your gate.

12. IMPORTANT: Save these safety instructions. Make sure everyone who is

using or will be around the gate and gate opener are aware of the dangers

associated with automated gates. In the event you sell the property with the

gate opener or sell the gate opener, provide a copy of these safety instructions

to the new owner.

Should you lose or misplace this manual, a copy can be obtained by

downloading one from the GTO® Access Systems web site (www.gtoaccess.

com), by contacting Gates That Open, LLC, at 3121 Hartsﬁeld Road,

Tallahassee, Florida 32303 or by calling 1-800-543-4283 and requesting a

duplicate copy. One will be provided to you free of charge.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

ENTRAPMENT ALARM (UL 325; 30A.1.1A)

The GTO® Gate Opener is designed to stop and reverse within 2 seconds when the gate comes in contact with an obstruction.

Additionally, these openers are equipped with an audio entrapment alarm which will activate if the unit obstructs twice while

opening or closing. This alarm will sound for a period of 5 minutes, or until the opener receives an intended signal from a

hardwired entry/exit source (e.g. push button control or keypad) and the gate returns to a fully open or fully closed position.

Turning the power switch on the opener arm OFF and back ON will also deactivate the alarm. Wireless controls such as

transmitters and wireless keypads will not deactivate the alarm.

As speciﬁed by Gate Operator Safety Standard, UL 325 (30A.1.1), automatic gate operators shall have an inherent

entrapment sensing system, and shall have provisions for, or be supplied with, at least one independent secondary means to

protect against entrapment. GTO gate openers utilizes Type A, an inherent (i.e., built-in) entrapment sensing system as the

primary type of entrapment protection. Also, the gate opener has provisions for the connection of Type B1 or B2 protection

to be used as the secondary type of entrapment protection, if desired.

1. For gate operators utilizing a non-contact sensor (e.g., photo-electric sensor– Type B1) in accordance with UL 325

(51.8.4 [h]):

A. Refer to the sensor manufacturer’s instructions on the placement of non-contact sensors for each type of application.

B. Care shall be exercised to reduce the risk of nuisance tripping, such as when a vehicle trips the sensor while the gate

is still moving.

C. One or more non-contact sensors shall be located where the risk of entrapment or obstruction exists, such as the

perimeter reachable by a moving gate or barrier.

For gate operators utilizing a contact sensor (e.g., safety edge sensor– Type B2) in accordance with UL 325 (51.8.4 [i]):

A. One or more contact sensors shall be located at the leading edge, bottom edge, and post edge, both inside and

outside of a vehicular swing gate system.

B. A hard wired contact sensor shall be located and its wiring arranged so that the communication between the sensor

and the gate operator is not subjected to mechanical damage.

C. A wireless contact sensor such as one that transmits radio frequency (RF) signals to the gate operator for entrapment

protection functions shall be located where the transmission of the signals are not obstructed or impeded by building

structures, natural landscaping or similar obstruction. A wireless contact sensor shall function under the intended

end-use conditions.

You may want to consider adding photo beams to your installation. GTO Photo Beams [R4222] provide a “non contact”

means of entrapment protection.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Install Warning Signs

Entrapment Protection

GTO’s inherent obstruction settings, even when properly adjusted, may not be sensitive enough to prevent bodily injury in

some circumstances. For this reason, safety devices such as safety edge sensors (or photoelectric sensors), which stop and

reverse gate direction upon sensing an obstruction, are suggested for enhanced protection against entrapment.

Required Safety Precautions for Gates

Warning Signs

The warning signs (at right) must

be installed on both sides of the

gate (see page 7 for details).

Warning signs alert people of automatic gate operation and are required when installing the GTO® Access Systems Gate

Opener. Furthermore, a walk-through gate must be installed if pedestrian trafﬁc is expected near the vehicular gate. We

recommend using the GTO Bulldog Pedestrian Gate Lock (Call the GTO Sales Department) for controlled access.

1. KEEP CLEAR! Gate may move at any time.

2. Do not allow children to operate gate or

play in gate area.

3. This gate is for vehicles only. Pedestrians

must use a separate entrance.
